Job Description
What you will do
• Reverse engineer IoT botnet malware families (Mirai lineage, Go-based L7 flooders, multi-architecture binaries) to understand attack behavior at the implementation and network level. You will reconstruct command structures, decode obfuscation, recover control flows from stripped binaries, and build precise models of how attacks manifest on the wire
• Perform dynamic malware analysis in sandboxed and purpose-built lab environments to validate static analysis and observe runtime behavior
• Design and contribute to novel detection and mitigation approaches based on malware internals and traffic behavior
• Collaborate with AI/ML teams to integrate automated analysis into research workflows. This is not passive tool usage—you will actively shape how automation is applied to real malware analysis problems
• Partner with product engineering to translate research into shipped detection capabilities
• Lead external-facing research: threat ...
